Got milk?

Ewan said:I keep hearing that full fat milk is bang on instead of a protein shake post workout, any credence to this?

I'm too poor to buy another tub of protein!

It has insufficient enzymes due to pasturization and/or heat treatment. The protein isn't high quality for the same reason and way too low for most peoples requirements, even if it's high enough you can't digest it without the suitable enzyme activity. Lactose is a bad source of carbs and poor sugar (for the same reasons as previously mentioned, and most westerners cannot tolerate lactose) and by skimming it you increase the nett content of them.

It does my tits in people going on and on about milk and chocolate milk. You are wasting your money, don't buy milk, save the money and buy some whey. SIMPLE

What about GOMAD? Squats and Milk? My bank account is going to be even lower if milk is bad.

IainKendrick said:Milk is a good food source if you are not lactase none persistent. Choc milk has been shown to be as generally as whey and sugar after training.

Speed of digestion and absorbtion is overrated for most peoples needs. Infact Casein tends to create a greater total increase (area under the curve) in protein balance than any whey. This is depsite whey having the quicker and larger peak protein balance.

Bottom line;

Its not magic.
Its not evil.
Don't listen to those that suggest either side.
Decide if it fits your whole diet and needs.
